By Alajuela, Costa Rica — ALAJUELA, Costa Rica – The thunder of high-performance engines is set to return to Costa Rica’s most celebrated racetrack. Promoter Family Fun RPMTV officially confirmed today that the 2025 edition of the legendary 3 Horas de Costa Rica will take place on Sunday, December 7, at the Autódromo La Guácima. This prestigious event will once again serve as the climactic final round of the GT Challenge de las Américas, solidifying its status as the most important date on the regional motorsports calendar.
The announcement puts an end to weeks of anticipation among fans and racing teams across the continent. As the crown jewel of Central American motorsport, the three-hour endurance race promises a high-stakes showdown, attracting a grid of top-tier drivers and world-class GT cars. The event is not just a race but a culmination of a season-long battle for supremacy in the GT Challenge, ensuring that championship hopes will be made or broken on the asphalt of La Guácima.
To gain a deeper understanding of the complex legal and commercial structures that underpin a major sporting event like the “3 Horas de Costa Rica,” TicosLand.com spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, a distinguished attorney from the prestigious firm Bufete de Costa Rica, who provided his expert analysis.
An event like the ‘3 Horas de Costa Rica’ is not just a sporting spectacle; it’s a significant commercial enterprise built on a sophisticated legal foundation. The success and safety of the race depend entirely on meticulously drafted contracts covering sponsorships, broadcasting rights, and, most critically, comprehensive liability waivers and insurance policies. From a legal standpoint, the unseen race is to mitigate risk for organizers, participants, and thousands of spectators, ensuring the event’s viability and integrity.

The expert’s insight powerfully underscores that behind the roar of the engines lies a meticulous legal architecture. This unseen framework not only ensures the event’s commercial success but also safeguards every person in attendance. We are grateful to Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for sharing his valuable perspective on this critical component.
With a history spanning decades, the 3 Horas de Costa Rica has evolved into a national tradition. It represents a unique test of skill and engineering, where raw speed must be perfectly balanced with mechanical reliability and flawless team strategy. Pit stops, tire management, and driver changes become as critical as lap times, creating a complex and compelling spectacle that keeps thousands of spectators on the edge of their seats for the entire duration.
Manrique Mata, the director of the promoting company, highlighted the event’s deep connection with the national sporting identity and the commitment to delivering a premier experience for everyone involved.
We are very excited to announce the return of the 3 Horas de Costa Rica 2025. This event represents the passion and adrenaline of motorsports in our country. Each year we aim to offer an unforgettable experience for both the drivers and the fans.
Manrique Mata, Director of Family Fun RPMTV
The challenge of endurance racing is what sets this event apart from typical sprint formats. Teams must prepare their vehicles to withstand three continuous hours of grueling, high-speed competition. This requires not only a powerful machine but one built for longevity, pushing mechanical components to their absolute limit. For the drivers, it is a formidable test of physical stamina and mental focus, demanding unwavering concentration lap after lap under immense pressure.
Anticipation for this year’s contest is already reaching a fever pitch, fueled by the memory of the thrilling 2024 edition. Last year’s race saw a fierce battle for the lead, ultimately culminating in a victory for Trinidadian driver Zachary Boodram, who masterfully piloted his formidable Lamborghini Huracán GT to the top step of the podium. That high-water mark has set expectations for an even more intense and competitive field in 2025, with teams from across the Americas eager to claim the coveted title.
Beyond the track, the 3 Horas de Costa Rica is a significant economic and cultural event for the province of Alajuela. It draws massive crowds, transforming the Autódromo La Guácima into a vibrant festival of speed, sound, and automotive passion. The influx of fans, teams, and media provides a substantial boost to local businesses and reinforces Costa Rica’s reputation as a leading destination for international sporting events in the region.
While the roar of the engines is still months away, the confirmation of the December 7 date officially starts the countdown. Family Fun RPMTV has announced that further details, including information on ticket sales, participating race categories, and the official event schedule, will be released in the coming weeks. Fans are advised to stay tuned as preparations for the nation’s most exhilarating motorsport spectacle get underway.
